A steel tape is placed around the earth ...

A steel tape is placed around the earth at the equator. When the temperature is `0^(0)C` neglecting the expansion of the earth, the increase in length between the tape and the ground if the temperature of the tape rises to `30^(0)C`, is nearly `(alpha_(steel) = 11 xx 10^(-6) // K)`
